Just to repeat an earlier request - Scratch 2 updates x/y positions “live” whereas 1.4 doesn't - the Scratch 2 way makes life SO much easier for new Scratchers doing animations

On a last to be done but great feature - the for block (I've ALWAYS wanted Scratch to have a for block ) can I suggest syntax change from

for in


for from 1 to

I've never understood why MIT have not added this block as its a fantastic “lowering the floor” block

On a separate note - I'm going to try and get a class to use Whiskers in the last days of this term - just to see how it fares in the real world

I just created this little prog entirely using Whiskers - all went fine - no errors - loads and saves no trouble

How you've managed to get this far in such a short space of time is absolutely amazing

PS Can I have some icing on cake sometime and have easy method to enable Mesh connections a la BYOB and Pyonkee
PPS Don't listen to enhancement requests BTW

Cool! How I did manage how to do this: tenacity and hard work (and boredom ). I also have had prior squeak and image editing experience, so making the GUI was pretty easy. The hardest part was the following block:

for each [var v] in (10)::control cstart

But it gave me the experience for making the custom blocks! (Now I have to make atomicity work)

Could you add an option to hide all non-2.0 blocks?

Somebody should make Scratch2EXE work with this (.sb2 to EXE!)

switch backdrop to [ v] and wait

Yes. (Shift-click the file menu).

Also: minor (not!) update: Added renaming and deleting variables through the context menu, opening sprite info through the context menu, TRUE ATOMIC CUSTOM BLOCKS, and the

switch backdrop to [ v] and wait

block.

Scratch2Exe would work with this, but the only problem would be vector graphics. 2.0 seems to be unable to open vector graphics that I place (forcefully!) in a Whiskers file. Because of this, I need a converter to turn a *.svg file to a *.png (or gif, since I don't need more than one value of transparency).

How do you know we only need at most one level of transparency?

Stand down

I have a BIG feature planned for the next update. I won't give away too much, but it involves reorganizing the ‘sounds’ and ‘costumes’ tabs…

NO!!!!
you MUST'N add features until basics works

Well, of course its your game

Any idiot can make a Scratch mod but we need YOU to make a proper Scratch 2 clone!

Don't go to the Dark Side young No-Mod
